Prior to founding Breakwater Associates, Tony worked at Cohen Equities, a real estate private equity fund, and transacted on over 2 million square feet of distressed national real estate, deploying over $300M in real estate assets. In the Spring of 2016 he led Cohen's efforts to buy real estate in Brazil. The research opened his eyes to another side of buying real estate most operators do not take into account, macro economic trends. Tony graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's of Science in Applied Economics and Management with a minor in Real Estate.
